HI, I am just starting out with the flashing of ROM's on my Telstra JasJam. I actually went to a Imate Ultimate 9502 and put the JasJam back in the box but after that failed and went back to Imate for repair, we all know how "quick" they are at repairs I pulled the JasJam out and went looking for a new 6.1 ROM for the JasJam.
I found CRC's ROM and flashed HardSPL before flashing, got CRC's 13.3 stable normal ROM on and all was going along great.
Issue I am having is when I go to the Telstra WAP site to access my Foxtel subscription I get a different telstra homepage. It is the old blue and white checker page that has icons down both sides. It is not the new homepage that has the icons with "free to browse" and "foxtel" tabs.
I installed the Telstra 5.5 cab and the My Place cab which didn't fix the issue. After a lot of looking around and reading I found the streaming URL for Foxtel and when I try to access it is says that my handset is not compat and to call Telstra.
It reminds me of the time back in WM5.0 when Foxtel first came out and the JasJam did not support it, it took an update to fix it.
So I am leaning towards a radio?? version issue maybe???
Can anybody help?
I PM'd CRC himself and he pointed me here.
Can anyone shed some light, had the same problems?
thanks in advance..........
I'm not sure of your exact issue, but it wouldn't be in the radio.
I'm guessing they might be using a proxy. My provider has a proxy to access their internal pages, and without it enabled it just never shows them. I'm on Cincinnati Bell.
Hopefully this will help you search, or someone using the same network will chime in.
Thanks for the reply.
Yeah Telstra do use a Proxy and you can set it either with their software package or via the network connections. I am doing this as without it you can't even get to the Telstra homepage.
Turn the proxy off and the Telstra homepage times out .....of course!!
But this is where my issue is, with the proxy on the homepage that loads is not the current one even though I am getting the http://wap.telstra.com/wap site via the "Telstra My Place"
Over night I flashed my spare JasJam, I purchased a JasJam off ebay for
"el-cheapo", its been abused but still works OK, and loaded the official WM6 on it. Put my SIM in and got straight to the telstra homepage where I can access the Foxtel website and the "free to browse" tab.
I can only assume that is has something to do with the radio.
Can somebody please explain the radio and how it works. I am struggling with this part as I am unable to find any good info on it.
cheers
The radio just handles the packets of information. It doesn't have anything to do with where the info comes from, or goes to.
Just like a different network card, or, network card firmware won't get you to a new web page.
I'm sure it's something to do with a network setting or proxy setting.
Hopefully someone on Telstra can chime in.
OK, so how do I understand 2 JasJam's with exactly the same settings via Proxy and network setup go to 2 different web pages?
I put WM6 on one and then insert my SIM, I get to the correct page when you browse the http://wap.telstra.com/wap and then I put CRC's ROM onto the other with WM6.1 and insert my SIM and then get to the incorrect site.
So I thought, as a wild guess, its the phone. So I did the opposite with flashing. I flashed the JasJam that had WM6 and was getting to the correct site with CRC's ROM and as I suspected I could not get to the correct site.
The error message tells me my phone is not compat with the service. I put the WM6 ROM onto the JasJam that could not get to the telstra WAP homepage and yep, it worked flawlessly.
It must be something to do with CRC's ROM, is there anyone else out there, PLEASE, that is on the NextG network and using CRC's 13.3 normal ROM and can get to the telstra WAP homepage that allows you access to Foxtel and the "free to browse" tabbed content???
Or anyone using one of CRC's ROM's, any version of WM6.1 that is working as it should?
Can anyone suggest a WM6.1 ROM that will work with Telstra Foxtel service?
Any help would be appreciated?
I know it all works on WM6.1 as I have, in the repair shop, a Ultimate 9502 that has no problems browsing the WAP site.
thanks again.........
Ahh, It might be something with the way the browser is reporting itself. That, I'm not sure how to fix. Might be able to use schaps advanced config to see what each of them are reporting, and try to make it match.
yeah I am unsure about that one. I installed Opera as well and get the same page.
This is definitely one for CRCinAU himself. I did PM him but he said to go to the forum. So far that hasn't been much help.
I searched for the other ROM you mentioned, schapp? I am not having much luck.
can you point me in the right direction for that, I'll give it a go and see what the differences are.
thanks for your replies. Seems that there are not many local users of the CRC 13.3 ROM on the Telstra network, or they don't use this feature and are unawares of it.
I ask again, if anybody can help with this one I would really appreciate it.
Can anyone tell me if they know of a WM6.1 ROM that is fully working on the Telstra NExtG network and able to use all the features provided by the "MyPlace" and WAP sites?
I cannot even look at any of the features on the WAP site, when you click on the icons to go to say, ringtones or movie info I get a web page error saying my hanset is not compatable. Very frustrating for such a lean, fast and app packed ROM!!!
cheers
Here is his xda dev post about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151 but the download link seems to be broken or is down at the moment.
Here is my copy of advanced config http://www.filedropper.com/advancedconfigurationtoolv33
all kinds of settings in there, also, you should be able to load advanced config from crc's device update(should come in crc's rom).
I think you will find your answer Here you need to change registry setting for compatibilty issue
Regards
Thanks that fixed it. Exactly the issue.
Its funny I looked at that string before and tried a few different options but nothing changed. Knowing the exact string did it!!
Thanks to everyone who replied and thanks to CRCinAU for a very nice ROM, which is now working as I want it to.
cheers

I'm currently running Black 2.5 (the T-MOB variant) and everything is fine.
But I'm tempted to upgrade to Black 3.x before I re-install all of my apps on my Vario (the speed improvement sounds good).
Has anyone with a Vario/T-Mobile installed Black 3.x? I see that there isn't (and will never be) a T-Mobile variant. What will I lose with a generic install? How hard is it to customise it for T-Mobile (UK)?
Thanks in anticipation.

Its fairly easy, all you really need are the internet and mms settings, look for a thread with operator settings in the title and find a cab file called t-mobile uk fixed.
Just drop it on to a storage card and run it whenever you do a hard reset or flash a new rom version.
Cant see why you would need the other t-mob customaizations as they mostly suck eggs.
Edit:cab file attached below
Here's the cab
Just drag to your Vario and run it.

Let me get this right. Upgrade to Black 3.x. Copy CAB to device. Run CAB. Voila? This sets everything I need?
I agree most of the T-Mobile extras are crap but I need the settings for Internet/GPRS/MMS/SMS etc.
Cheers.
yes, working fine here, all connection settings set manually.

Yep. I actually have a directory setup on my sd card called rebuilds with the cabs I need to reset my ppc up after flash/hard reset. Generally takes me about half an hour now to set up everything, including restores of pim records

I'm with Orange and my flashing routine now is:
1) flash new rom
2) run pimping changes
3) manually enter gprs and mms settings
4) sync with 4smartphone exchange server
5) run smsproviders cab off Storage card (to sort voicemail)
6) install spb pocket plus and customise today launchers
7) set up two pop mail accounts
8) sign in and configure windows live messenger
Got it down to about 15 minutes now (but it does help that exchange server syncing is so damn quick.)
I tend to install things like Reader that like a soft reset so it takes me a little longer.

MDA Vario II works with Black 3.01, what about rSAP?
Hi there,
Just as it has already been mentioned earlier (upgrade to 3.01 on T-Mobile MDA Vario II). I took the plunge today and installed version 3.01 straight from WM5. I was initially a bit apprehensive being my first update since I got the phone and I can confirm that it works well. I simply had to add the 3G and MMS settings back or just use the T-Mobile cab to get everything back to normal.
Speed actually seems faster than before. The question I have got now is what happened to the rSAP (Remote Simm Access Profile) as I need to ensure that I can use my phone in my "troublesome" Mercedes CLS. Never was able to pair it with the car so i'll be testing it tonight. I just noticed that the rSAP seems to be missing.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Vido.
It works a treat, however when i goto use Live Messenger it cannot connect and doesn't present me with a login form like it did with Black 2.0... Is anyone else having trouble with this? I'm using a Vario II, i've tried connecting over 3G, Wireless and through ActiveSync, all with no joy,
The service may be down, mine works without any hitch. Then again, I haven't and never do install any other third party software.

All working ok for me, web'n'walk back working and exchange server sync'd ok. TomTom OK. Calls OK...
Only problem I have is connecting to a WPA2 WLAN.... maybe me.... maybe the Black 3.0 (2.5 worked ok). Need to spend sometime looking this evening.
Justin
TomTom
Justin, I take it you have the app TomTom on your mobile, rather than being a 910 or similar?
I took one of the other WM6 ROMs and the DUN (data transfer) has been removed so I can only use it as a hands free device and not to update traffic over GPRS.

I gave rSAP a try with an earlier black build, and I'm sorry to tell you that it behaved exactly the same as WM5 with the Merc car kit - i.e. just doesn't work (even once you've hacked the stack to make the Hermes look like a phone). If you get anywhere, it would be great to hear, but I'm afraid I think the Merc kit is just toooo limited in what it supports.

Hi Vido.
I hope you read the extensive guides mr Vanx has done on upgrading. If not, consider this a stern warning to do so *now* (link in my sig)
Your post suggests that you did not put on the olipro bootloader which means you are taking a risk flashing any OS rom onto your phone - if something went wrong, you would brick your phone.
For you and anyone else reading this, please read Mr Vanx's guides and save yourself, and everyone else, the headache of trying to recover your phone as this stuff voids your warranty.
Cheers,
Smiffy.
ok guys im on tmobile usa and mms doesnt work at all on any of the new wm6 roms. do you guys suggest that i try the uk settings
Hi, you need to check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299023
If USA not on here go to your T-Mobile website and do the settings manualy or get them from tech support...
Then post in the above thread!

Hi Smiffy/All,
I actually followed all the instructions regarding upgrading to WM6 by flashing all the instructions in Mr Vangs guideline and used the 1.40.olipro bootloader. I just didn't type in all the details because of space. What I meant was that this is my first attempt at upgrading to WM6 after reading all the instructions in this forum.
Like I said my phone still does not work with the Mercedes Bluetooth UHI which is a pain and one of the reasons why I performed the upgrade. The other thing I have just noticed is that my ohne now finds it difficult to connect to my wifi at home using simple WEP key. I was only able to connect to my wifi at work only once after which it doesn't connect anymore. Has anybody else encountered this problem or is it only me.
Last question, is it possible to have the VOIP (Sip) work with T-Mobile? it shows up as "Service Blocked" and I read it somewhere that this can be tweaked. does anyone have the settings for testing this?
Apart from that the Black edition 3.01 is really cool.
Regards,
Vido.
Hi All,
Wow, Been a while since i had to post on here for help.
OK, before you all start flaming, Yes i have searched for a few days, inc. google and the WM6 Black forum 4winblack to no avail,
Everyone asking but no one answering and just flaming (hence no one can find the answer when searching and leaving them no choice but having to ask)
ME.
Member on here since 2005 ( so no noob, I always search and find )
have a MDA vario II HERM 300
Running Windows Mobile VI - Black Edition 3.0.1
IPL 1.04
SPL 2.10.OLipro
Radio ver. 1.41.00.10
T-mobile UK W+W
OK the burning question that has me stumped.
and i am cringing cause i dont want you to flame throw me.
Windows Live issue
Unable to establish an internet connection. Can this be fixed and How?
I have re installed WM VI black Live & messenger cab but still same issue.
Messenger Sign in as issue
How do i get to sign in there is no where to sign in
just a blank pick and the option to go online.
Are these issues fixed and are they just relevent to WM6 Black or all packages, am tempted to downgrade or switch roms in hope.
Finally as last resort will posket msn work on WM6
Again sorry for asking but i do truly search, it a shame when you do get new users using such a great forum and they get flamed, Remember if everyone is treated in this way, how can anyone search and find the answer.
I have opened countless posts on the subject only to find the person asking flamed and no answer given. This makes it near inpossible to find the correct answer.
Didn't come on to moan LOL. Have a good un all,
Can't help on your other issues as I don't use Messenger or MSN, but I have no trouble with Windows Live with this rom. Connects with no problems.
You need to reenter your 3G modem settings in your connections so that it knows how to connect to the network. wap.cingular and then your 7 digit phone number is hte password.

hmm.. I have seen these issues before in other posts and enouctered some myself. Pimpmyblack has a tab which will allow you to have your gprs/media net on all the time (assuming you have unlimited plan). From my experience there is a bug with live, it doesnt like to establish gprs conn if it is not alread on. I have noticed this with piscel browser too. As much as I hate doing it, my non-hack work around is to open pie and connect to google. this establishes connection w/ gprs. its not ideal, but I have exhaustedly serached for a fix to this too with no avail. hopefully that can hold u over until the geniuses figure somethin out.
Yeah it maybe something with WM6 i think and the way it allows programs to hook up to the internet. For example everytime i use my opera mini i have to first open up explorer to establish an internet connection and then i can start using opera mini. So that maybe what is required for you to do. But i would highly recommend you to just switch over to one of the newer roms that have been cooked. I was on black 3.0.1 and just had to many problems with bluetooth and connections to the internet. So i strongly recommend that buddy.
thanks for the suggestions, glad others have herd of the problem but unable to find fix.
yes. I have tried pimp my black and changed settings to internet always on.
also tried with internet connection open and then trying windows live and messenger but both problems still exist.
shame as accessing my hotmail accounts instantly is a must.
looks like will have to try your suggestion of another ron.
recommendations ?
thanks
Well it looks like This was one good thread. started good and ended good. So lets lock it up if its cool with you guys.
agree, thanks to everyone.
to sum up.
I could not find a fix to the issues I had :-{
I eventually took the advice and changed roms.
now running Custels 2.5 and everything. I mean everything is working fantastic. plus the bonus of office 2007 and live is running great.
I can only suggest black is a little buggy for myself but hey im happy with Custels 2.5
thanks to all again.
try not and leave it another 2 years before I post again lol.
Hi,
Just upgraded my rom, and for some reason, when i go the the orangeworld site in pie, it only displays a text version. No graphics or anything.
Any ideas?
all these fantastic genius's here, and no ideas?
I have noticed this too, and it must be something to do with what PIE reports itself as for User Agent.
The sites work fine with Opera, but cant see if that reports as Mozilla for whatever.
We need someone with WM5 to look....

I use PIE+ and tried all the user agents, but no change. Also noticed gprs/3g connection is real unstable! I'm in london, so definately a good coverage!
Erm....?
Any ideas?
What is the URL? Assume you have "show pictures" set etc ? I have black 3.1 on T mobile (well, virgin) and connection seems stable. This is on a m3100
Yeah I noticed this before too... I've only installed Black up to 3.0, so it the problem existed in at least version, maybe earlier.
http://wap.orange.co.uk for orange world. WEorks in opera fine. in PIE every other site i look at displays correctly, only orange so far is appearing as plain text.
As for the connection, i'm using the latest radio upgrade. to be honest, the connection was pants when i had the standard os installed, but then upgraded the radio, which improved it. But now i upgraded the os, the connection is worse than ever.
Also, Skype refuses to log in!
I'm pretty much ready to the sell piece of $h1t on ebay and get something else!!
So nobody able to help me?????

Hi, sorry am unable to help as I have same on orangeworld, but would just recommend that before you sell, you try reverting the radio version to 1.38.0.10 or .01.
Makes it a whole different phone, no dropped signals, better battery.

Yeah, no problems - orangeworld works fine in PIE for me WITH graphics (after I fixed it of course!!)
First I would recommend the latest Orange Radio ROM which is 1.38.00.01 - works best for Orange UK (this is not necessary for my fix to work though.)
See my cab file which installs the Orange UK MMS and internet settings as well as fixing the voicemail icon issue and the orangeworld graphics issue
If anyone needs it, I suppose I could create a cab file containing just the fix for orangeworld on PIE
Ok, here is the cab to just fix the Orangeworld site on Orange UK - it also fixes the voicemail icon since this is kinda essential
This should work on all WM6 ROMs on Orange UK
ps. you DO NOT need this file if you are using the cab file in the post above
Thanks alot Rabdo!!! I'll try the radio downgrade when i get home!!! Orange now works a treat!!!
Thanks!!
Just a quick question. What was the problem? It almost looked like it didn't pick up the css or something, but the strange thing was the fact every other site i looked at was fine. Would be nice to know exactly what was up with it.
rabdo! my wife can have your babies if you like!
radio fix and settings cab have sorted me right out!
keep getting the "H" symbol. did a quick test and was close to 500kbs! not sure how reliable that is, but just browsing now is a dream, and no connection dropped!
thanks a lot!

Question for the forum... I have tried purchasing and downloading different applications from at&t's medianet site from my hermes. I've tried just about any new rom that comes my way, but for whatever reason I can't download anything from medianet. My quess is my browser shows that I don't have a standard at&t device. My question is; has anyone else had this problem and how do I solve it?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
probably need to have the proxy turned on... search XDA for: bear at&t proxy
This is the best solution I have come up with so far. The best way is to uninstall your current MMS software and reinstall this in its place or just install it over the top and it will usually work. I have spent hours changing configurations and such and never had a good and fast solution until I found this cab. Now I get MMS as fast as SMS and never have any issues at all. I am using MRH ROMs and it works great.
Arc Soft MMSC for AT&T on Filedropper.com
thanks guys. Still no luck.
I can't find "bear at&t proxy" anywhere. I've tried removing keywords and everything, just can't seem to find any useful reference to what you're referring to. Any additional assistance is greatly appreciated.
I didn't feel like searching for it, so I just attached it here.
It puts 2 cabs in programs... proxy on and proxy off.
and I'm attaching the Cingular/AT&T settings, JIC yours are screwed up

MediaNet Downloads
Your connection should be set to "Media Net" instead of "My ISP." However, I've never been able to purchase & download anything on the MediaNet site, using either the original WM5 or the HTC WM6 upgrade. I get error messages that there are no apps compatible with my device.
(At&t's HTC Tilt 2 Unlocked, original ROM, win 6.5
)Guys, this is driving me nuts.
When I connect to the internet, via EDGE, both my browsers can't download data at all.
It's really weird.
I can send email on all of my accounts, use my facebook app, etc. It's just the browsers (IE and Opera) that are dead.
I have soft and hard reseted my device, and nothing changes.
When I'm WiFi, everything works Ok.
Any known issues about this?
Thanks,
Dan from Costa Rica
(as soon as I solve this, I'm planning on starting some serious mod of the phone... coming from an old HTC P4350, it's a huge step fwd).
perhaps, you have disabled the "proxy" - try enabling it.
My connection doesn't require a proxy... it's really weird, it was working OK a couple of days ago.
Shot it the dark, but look at Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections
Look at the Advanced tab and click on "Select Networks"
Make sure both drop-downs are set to use the correct connection. Not sure what it'll be called on yours, but on mine (T-Mobile) they are both set to "T-Mobile Data"
Also make sure your Wifi isn't on, but not connected to a network, when trying to browse. I find that if my wifi is on, but not connected, all browsers still try to use the wifi and fail.
Good luck,
notaliberal,
Thanks for the tip.
For some reason I had one of them set differently, BUT it's still dead.
Again, I'm pretty sure it's no the phone, since my emails work efforrlessly.
I'm pretty sure something happened with the config.
Damn, it's driving me crazy.
guys, Ok, this is driving me nuts.
I have discovered a couple of details that I think are important.
I have managed to make the BROWSERS work... but it's no a definite solution.
When I turn on the DATA CONNECTION, I was able to check emails, and use Facebook App with no problems at all.... but no browsers worked.
I found out that if i turn on my WiFi, but DO NOT connect to any network, now the browsers work perfectly. This gives me like 10-30 minutes of my browsers to work, but after that time I loose acces to data again.
I have to turn on the Wifi, and turn it off, to gain access again.
It's so confusing and weird, because I haven't read anything like this in the whole forum.
It seem that it's not a hardware thing, but a firmware or software issue... or am I missing something here?
Maybe this will help:
At&T Tilt 2 Original ROM
When turned on:
B 80
R 4.48.25.20
G 61.39tc.25.30h
D 1.59.67150
I had a similar problem and it turned out the carrier had put a bar on my internet usage, from long ago without my consent... Funny thing was, I could access the weather, update time and emails with no problem from my old Hermes but once I got the rhodium I couldn't.
Might be your carrier doing funny things....
Ultramag, and by any chance do you know what should I do to solve this? or what did you do?
The problem is that I don't know anyone with another Tilt2 to check if it's the phone or what.
Tonight I'll be checking with my old HTC P4350 to see if I have any trouble conneting.
Thanks.
Neu
Are you using a Tilt2 with stock AT&T Rom on a non-AT&T network? If so, maybe the best solution would be to install a custom rom. The old AT&T network connections might be getting in the way of your carrier settings. If you don't want to flash a custom ROM, go to settings, Connections, Advanced (tab), Select Network, and check that the programs are being directed to your carrier's connection. Also check on your browsers that they are set to connect to Internet, and not Work Network or anything else.
Jose, yes, I'm using AT&T ROM on a non AT&T network.
I did as you said, on the Advance tab set BOTH to connect to my carriers settings, and I still have the same problem.
I trid to do the second thing yu asked me to do, but I don't know where to find those settings on my browsers (IE and Opera).
If I have to install a costum ROM, I'd like to try first a ROM that's really basic... maybe an official HTC 6.5, to start. Any one like this that you could recommend?
Had to contact the carrier. Got stuffed around a lot. Luckily for me I knew someone who worked in a store, they got in contact with the faults department and 3 weeks later it got fixed.... Was a major pain in the arse though...
I just saw on the HTC page, that there is a ROM that is newer than the version I'm using.
Mine is from 09/25/2009 according to the Device Info, and HTC has a version from 02/05/2010
It's REALLY driving me nuts, so I hope this thing solves the issue.

A guy from India posted about a month or so with a similar problem, he had an unlocked T-mobile programed it with his carrier settings yet the browsers were not working, had to install a custom rom to solve it. I think some registry keys have the browsers going through different network settings. Have you tried using Skyfire, or Opera 10? Maybe a browser that didn't come with the phone will work.
Regarding custom roms, I've only used Energy's since I flashed my Tilt2, and they've worked great for me. If you want a clean rom, I've heard Da_G has one, and he's pretty well respected here. Just in case you're not aware, before installing a custom rom you have to install HardSPL and do some reading. Check the sticky threads in the roms sections. And Tilt2 phones need a CAB before they can be HardSPLed, check this page http://tilt2.blownfuze.org/.
Guys, I just updated my ROM wit the AT&T one, and the problem is still there.
I guess I'll have to install a costum ROM.
I'll follow the instructions from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
But they never mention any CAB before the HardSPL? :?
-*-*-*-*-
Last dumb question:
Since I'll be testing new ROMS, once I HardSPL the phone and try a new ROM, i f I don't like it, I just have to flash a new ROM on top of the old one right? no more HardSPL? (aka HardSPL must only be done once?)
My main concern is that at first, I want a ROM as close to the original, but without all the AT&T crap.
Obviously, now I want something that solves this stupid problem with my browser, and now that someone in India had the same issue, I now it's not a matter of hardware.
Thanks.

PS: Myphonw came both with Opera and IE. Actually Opera gives me much more trouble that IE with this issue. Unfortunately, now Skyfire only works on certain countries, and Costa Rica is definitely NOT one of them
It's not hardware or a ROM issue. Most likely that it'll be fine with a custom ROM, but I only use official At&t ROMs.
I had the same issue, as I don't use At&t as my network, and I fixed it. My IE and Opera, and other built-in phone services work fine.

The CAB before HardSPL is mentioned here: http://tilt2.blownfuze.org/
Some people have posted on Energy's thread saying they can't use HardSPL with a Tilt2, and they were told that a Cab is needed, I assume the one posted on that website. HardSPL is only needed once, after using it you can flash and reflash TP2 roms and radios as long as they are for GSM phones.
Using Task29 is recommended before flashing roms, some people claim that flashing a new rom might not clean everything from the previous one, which causes glitches. For safety purposes I've start doing that, but I've never had any trouble when Task29 was not available.
Regarding a rom close to AT&T stock, I can't help you with that, you'll have to look at the different ones available. Since AT&T just came with a new version it's likely that many chefs will use it as base, but how far they modify it will depend on each one.

Graham, the question is HOW to fox it without a custom ROM.
I finally figured it out.
It seems that it's a PROXY issue.
Looking more into xda forums, I found out that there is a small program under START>Tools> Proxy Manager where you can Disable Proxy Settings.
Unfortunately, that ONLY fixes Internet Explorer.
Reading some more, you can fix Opera by entering on the address bar "opera:config" (without the ") in the proxy settings, remove the HTTP proxy and HTTPS proxy (leave blank).
The only problem is that this settings are removed in Opera with a soft reset.
the only way to change Opera settings permanently is to edit \Windows\Opera\opera.ini and set the Use HTTP and Use HTTPS proxy settings to 0, then soft reset.
Thanks to user Moltenfire (original post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5120862&postcount=3)
Thanks for all the help guys... Thanks to you, now, after all this, I'm decided to give the Simplicity ROM a try
-*-*-*-*-*-
Edit: It seem that after Opera 9, which is the one that came with my Tilt2, the settigs changed through opera:config STAY even though you reset your device.
I realized this because I didn't install Total Commander yet, did quite a lot of reseting, and Opera is working perfectly... so is IE!
PS: Just in case, in Opera9 the settings are called "HTTP server=" and "HTTPS server=" and must be left BLANK... in case you need to edit the opera.ini
